Travel Weekly contributor Nadine Godwin recently participated in a tour hosted by the Korea Tourism Organization with support from the Cultural Corps of Korean Buddhism.

Seen here, Gwanghwamun, which means Enlightenment Gate, is the entry point to Gyeongbok Palace. The mountain at left is indicative of the capital city's surroundings.

In a city known for big bets, the one MGM Resorts and Dubai World made on Las Vegas in 2009 was clearly the biggest. And almost five years after CityCenter, the joint venture's $9 billion, mixed-use district, opened as the largest privately funded development in U.S. history, that bet appears to be paying off. Pictured here, an aerial view of the district's three hotels and 500,000 feet of retail and entertainment space. Posted July 22, 2014Cashing in on CityCenter
So much of what France touts -- gastronomy, history and culture, to name a few -- can now be found in plenty of other countries. Yet it remains on top in terms of visitor numbers, begging the question: Is what France has still that much more enticing than what other countries can offer? Pictured here, the city of Bordeaux has been reborn as a tourism destination and as a gateway to some of France's most well-known wine regions.

For those today who think there is nothing left to seek or nothing left untrammeled, Antarctica awaits -- serene, magnificent, empty, surreal and beautiful beyond words. And although the Seventh Continent is the world's most inaccessible, it is no longer a pipe dream for adventurers who place it high on their bucket lists.

What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, the first of three all-purpose, portable lanterns designed to be life-savers whether you are on the road or caught in a power outage at home or away. The Bracketron Smart Lantern gives off enough light while used in its lantern mode to illuminate a small room; when the lantern globe is retracted into its housing, it turns into a flashlight for more focused lighting.What's New, What's Hot: June 2014
